I've now got a bit behind with this blog, so here's an attempt to catch up a couple of weeks.
Week 7 was looking at multimedia and once again we did the group tasks on the wiki. This time I setup the page at the beginning of the week and suggested using a table to show rate our competencies.
I started by putting a few obvious ones in and left space for other members of the group to add more. I also put a space for discussion at the bottom.
This task seemed to work better then some of the previous group based tasks and most of the group contributed at least details of there own level of competencies.
Unfortunately, the deeper discussions seemed to be limited to just myself and Colleen. I'm not sure how to get the rest of the group more involved. Perhaps it was mainly a matter of the TMA being just around the corner. I also got the impression that some members of the group were still doing the work from previous weeks. Perhaps it's just a matter of allowing more time for these tasks.
The second part of the activity was to record another multimedia item. I was intending to record a popcast of my reflections, but by the time I had been able to get to the shops to buy a microphone it seemed sensible to move onto the TMA.
I'm still intending to do this, but as it's holding back the rest of my reflections I shall just write this transcript for now and record the popcast over the weekend.
